The '''Fer-de-Lance''' is a heavy combat [[Ships|ship]] manufactured by [[Zorgon Peterson]]. It features a hull that is more resistant to damage from Class 1 and 2 [[weapons]] than other medium ships,<ref>[https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=120789&p=1873136&viewfull=1#post1873136 Sandro Sammarco in the Official Forums]</ref> and alongside its newer sister ship, the [[Mamba]], it is one of only two medium ships capable of mounting Class 4 weaponry. Although fast, manoeuvrable, well-armed, and well-shielded, the Fer-de-Lance suffers from a few significant drawbacks: poor jump range, a small fuel tank, and a limited number of internal compartments for its size. This makes the Fer-de-Lance difficult to recommend for any role outside of [[combat]].
